Streamlined and made more accessible for the current generation of twenty-somethings, this new edition is for those that want to make a difference right now but lack some of the core skills to make it happen. Learn how to:

  • Make the smartest career move right out of college.
  • Establish a strong reputation by encouraging others to like and cooperate with you.
  • Navigate your organization’s social scene and practice cringe-free networking.
  • Master skills that will take you anywhere, including goal setting and self-promotion.
